Ready to order your Hole-in-One at Randy's Donuts


Priced at a premium versus other doughnut options starting at P 105 to P 120 per piece, the doughnut selection at Randy's Donuts are noticeably larger and even heavier than the typical variety. It's the size and weight that clearly sets it apart for a new kind of doughnut experience. And since 1952, Randy's Donuts has been consistently ranked among the top doughnut shops in the US. Born in LA widely acknowledged as the world's Doughnut Capital, the popularity of Randy's Donuts can also be attributed to it's massive rooftop doughnut sign featured in various films making it part of the cultural mainstream. Who can forget that scene with Tony Stark? 


And the best way to get acquainted with the brand's take on doughnuts is with the Hole-in-One (P 250), a value-packed combo with your choice of doughnut paired with a Hot, Iced or Frozen beverage.


The Classic Glazed Raised paired with Hot Latte is probably the best gauge to appreciate one brand's specialty from another. Coffee and doughnuts, right? The fragrant fresh-baked aroma triggers your appetite. Visually, the doughnut is noticeably heftier but it's the textural experience that make Randy's Donuts stand out. The dense cake-like bite and mouthfeel of Randy's Donuts makes it the ideal base for the sweet glaze, with each big bite delivering an indulgent sweet finish without being overly sweet.


And it's a big doughnut. And heavy too. In fact, having two of these is a light yet full meal in itself. For doughnut purists, the Classic Glazed Raised by Randy's Donuts sets the bar for sheer size, weight, soft and dense texture and balanced sweetness. I hear stories about two or even three people sharing this doughnut and if you have a big appetite, then this one's built for it. 


A few more bites reveals the dense yet fluffy and soft texture of the doughnut, with none or few of the usual airy holes. And it isn't dry too, with its mild buttery hints. This compressed texture gives Randy's Donuts a distinct bite, soft and lightly chewy that really fills you up giving it that worth-what-it-costs edge. More than just a quick sweet snack, it can be a filling and serious meal.     


A soothing cup of Latte is just what you need to wash it all down for that timeless pairing. Randy's Donuts offers an equally wide selection of Hot, Iced and Frozen beverages to complete your experience.


Made fresh everyday, each doughnut has that distinct homemade goodness for real flavors. Worth what it costs? Definitely.


A Hole-in-One at Randy's Donuts? That's probably one of the best deals in the metro. 


Randy's Donuts in Robinsons Magnolia may not have the iconic donut signage and Tony Stark on the roof, but this one's the real deal. Direct from LA to Manila. It's a bite of pure Americana and culture in a doughnut.
